ATHENS, TEX July ia terrible
tragedy, perhaps without parallel, oc-
Cured in this county to-day, about three
miles south Of Athens, resulting in the
killing OF Mrs. Laura Herring by her hus-
band, Il. H. Herring. The only Witress
of the killing were the Two sons Of the
HeTriugs, one eight and the other thir-
teen years old. Their testimony:cOrrOb j.
rates their fathers, and is strong plea
CT self defense. Herring &ud his wife
had not been the best of friends for some
wears, and of late had occupied separate
apartments. She was & woman
OF hae physique weighing 100
pounds, Yves known as s
good sAoJ with the rife and Gun end q
woman OF high temper Lately she had
acquired Partially for 4 CERTAIN negro
MAJ, formerly q hired hand on the farm,
bu1 discharged by her husband, Nr. Her
ring She nsd enGeavored 10 secure bis
Employment, but in ySIn. She had even
threatened 10 have the negro Kill him or
to Kill him herself il the man was rot
hired. she kept q loaded gun in her
room which greatly alarmed Herring, who
tried TO get it away from Eer without
success. The neighbOrs also tried, but
were in turn threatened by her.
Things remained in this shape
till this morning, when they both returned
TO the house from walking. As soon as
they entered the house q quarrel sprspg
up and she ran towards him. He
caught her and held her, but upor her
promise of good behavior ne released
her She instantly rushed through the
sitting room into her own room and
brought back her gun, full cooked, and
presented it at him, but he was too quick
for her, and Selling the gun shot her. Six
bucksnoU entered her Ieft breast.
She lived about ten minutes, and
asked for water, but would not converse.
The above is HerTing's testimony, cor
roborated by his boys. He at once sur
rendered to the neighbors. This sitter
noon he waived examination and was re-
leased on $1,000 bond, which ne resdily
gave. This community gives full credence
to Herring's statement and believes he
was compelled TO xiii his vile IN self de-
Tense.
